Interesting how this Orthophytum glabrum appears to have little pups coming from the top where the inflorescence will emerge as well as offsets at the base.  The color has changed from pure green to the brown tints as well.

Tracy, that Orthophytum will take all day full sun [ if in a larger pot ] here it gets an awesome glowing orange hue .

I got several pups from the infl' of mine a while ago . It also has long stoloniferous pups .

Tracy, another one you might wanna try in full sun is xNeophytum 'Galactic Warrior'. Doesn't take up a lotta space and is a real crowd pleaser.

New ones, these are so awesome and will get very large. The color will only get brighter and intense with age.

The first one was labeled as Neoregelia marmorata, but google search on N. marmorata shows different looking bromeliads. 

Can anyone verify?

 

The second one is N. pemiento

One of the most exquisite flowers in the Tillandsia genus, T. xiphioides (zif-ee-oh-eye-deez) has huge flowers for it's size that smell like vanilla/lemon.

There are quite a few different forms of xiphioides; long, short, miniature, fuzzy, smooth leaf, straight leaf, recurved leaf, and yellow flower. One thing in common is the size of the flower, big.

I just "found" this in my garden. I can no longer make out what it is . The label is not legible. The flower is almost heliconia like.

Some more photos to add from the garden. I used to have name tags, but they are long gone. No problem though, they just add interest to all the palms. 

The last one is a 'white ' pineapple fruit which is incredibly delicious.
